We've seen a similar problem in experimental planning for migrating the
core Gentoo repository to Git. That's a 900MiB packfile ('git repack
-adf --window=250 --depth=250' taking 2 hours).
Multiple concurrent full clones push the server into swap. We had 16GiB
of RAM, and this was still occurring.
Our temporary solution plan is via hooks, if you're asking for a item
before a certain point, throw an error telling you to download a
git-bundle from a given URL instead (as a bonus you can resume that
trivially).
